I need to lose weight fast

[Bee123]

I need help. In a week of induction I lost only 2 pounds. I need a sample menu of some one who has lost a lot of weight in a decent time. Any help would be appreciated.

Induction is a minimum of 14 days. Give the entire 14 days a fair shot by following the Rules, eating the Foods listed in the Food List and exercising.

What she said. But if it helps, I ate nothing but caesar salads(with chicken), hamburger meat, chicken breasts, ribeye steaks, turkey lunch meat, sausage, bacon, eggs, romaine lettuce, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, parmesan and jack cheeses, ranch dressing and mayo for Induction. Not all at the same time, of course.

How about you tell us what *you're* eating?

What were your carb counts each day? Did you count them as net carbs? Were you keeping track using something like Fitday? Were you getting enough veggies? Enough fat? Something like Fitday will tell you that. Did you drink your water? Exercise?

Salad veggies are often not enough carbs, especially on Induction. I stalled if I didn't get real veggies in (ex. broccoli, green beans, etc.).

Post your typical daily menu in the Review My Menu section and it's likely the experts can find something.

Also, weight loss will happens as it will. This isn't necessarily a rapid weight loss program. Many factors go into how fast you lose weight, which is why doing a clean induction is important so that you can perhaps determine if you have metabolic resistance issues.

Bee123 is the one with the problem, bizzle. Not me.

Bee123,
unless you need to go for surgery (at which case the doctor would put you on a liquid fast to lose weight),

you do not need to lose weight fast.

Losing weight fast brings it's own set of problems.

My sample menu is like this:

Breakfast: 4 pieces of bacon with a cup and half of coffee with one cream and splenda.

Snack: 1 string cheese

Lunch: Ceaser Salad with dressing (4 carbs) and chicken and diet coke.

Snack: Coffee and water(a cup or two)

Dinner: Steak or Ground beef with cheese or broccoli and diet coke.



Is this ok?

Bee, just from experience (i've only been doing this for less than 3 weeks now) but it seems you need to drink more water & maybe knock out the coffee/diet soda (are you drinking decaf?) I am a coffee lover myself, but gave it up once i started Atkins, as i read, it "stalled" many & i do not want to take the chance. Just make sure you are eating the 3 cups of veggies required (in the induction rules).... Like i said, i am quite new at this too, but that is the only thing that stick out in my mind & from my own experience. I now drink at leat 100 oz. of water a day, and nothing else. if i want something else to drink, i will have a 1/2 glass of crystal lite SF rasberry drink, but i am sure to count those carbs...

It sounds like you may need to cut back on the diet coke and coffee -- and really hit the water!! For many people - caffeine adds to the stall (believe me - I've been there before myself - and have learned how caffeine affects my blood sugar levels) Also, some people say that the nitrate in bacon can cause stalls as well, so be careful and watch labels closely. Everybody's journeys are so different, and only you know your body best. Best of luck to you on your weight loss journey!
